Alessandra De Rossi explained why she doesn't like doing kissing scenes and love scenes in movies.

In her interview with "King of Talk" Boy Abunda, the actress-director said she doesn't require such films in her movies. 

"Ayaw ko. Hindi rin sila required sa films ko na ganon. Dito, mayroon kaming konti sa Everyone Knows Every Juan. Tapos tinanong ako, ipapakita ba 'yon. Hindi siya ipapakita. Mababanggit lang talaga siya. Ganon. Hindi na kailangan visually ipakita," De Rossi said.

Although she did such scenes in her previous movies, Alessandra explained why she dislikes doing them.

"Nakakadiri siya number one. 'Yung first ko kasi eight shots paikot-ikot so parang I was 16-17 years old, nasaktan ako. Puwede pala mangyari 'yon na hindi mo kontrolado na another shot, another take. Kiss kayo, ganon," the award-winning actress said.

Her second reason was the reaction of her father. "Noong napanood ko siya parang na-feel ko magiging proud ba ang tatay ko sa akin? Puro lalaki din ang mga kaibigan ko. Wala silang nakikitang that side of me kasi nga when I'm around them, talagang boys tayo. Then all of a sudden, 'Uy, si Alex,' alam mo 'yun?" she added.

She added that kissing and love scenes can be faked, and that she prefers working on projects suitable for children.

De Rossi revealed that she has lost some roles because of this personal rule.

"Madami akong nawala. 'Yung isa may exposure kasi kakapanganak lang. Or 'yung isa importante talaga 'yung love scene. Malaking project sila pero hindi naman ako nagsisi," she said.

De Rossi starred and directed the upcoming dark comedy film, Everyone Knows Every Juan, with veteran actors Joel Torre, Gina Alajar, Edu Manzano, Ruby Ruiz, and Ronnie Lazar.

She also starred in films such as Firefly, Sakaling Hindi Makarating, Kita Kita, and the Netflix series, Replacing Chef Chico.
